We’ve been living in Boston for a little over two months now, and while I still don’t feel completely settled in yet, I have been having fun trying new restaurants and exploring New England. Here are a few fun restaurants/destinations we’ve enjoyed so far! Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum This gorgeous museum is just as much … Continue reading Autumn in Boston
It’s now just two weeks until moving day, so we’ve really been trying to check a bunch of New York things off of our list! Andrew’s sister and her fiance came to visit us this past weekend, and we dragged them along on a few adventures. Saturday, we started the day with bagels from our … Continue reading New York Adventures: City & Upstate
This weekend I didn’t do very much cooking because we ended up eating out at restaurants a lot. We’ve been making the rounds of our favorite places in New York, because at the end of the month we are moving to Boston! Andrew is going to be doing doctoral studies in music and I am … Continue reading Sunday at the Shore
I hope you all had a fantastic July 4 holiday! We had a wonderful time visiting my parents in Pennsylvania and going to the beach with Andrew’s family in Surf City, North Carolina.

It almost felt like spring this weekend, and we took advantage of the warmer weather to go on another epic NYC walking food adventure. With running a few errands in the morning before the adventure began, I walked 13.7 miles on Sunday! Which was excellent, because on Saturday we had friends over for a raclette … Continue reading Sesame Halvah Tea Cake (gluten free)
I’m still thinking about the delicious lamb shoulder ragu I made last weekend from the fabulous cookbook Wine Food, so I’m sharing the recipe with you here! A few days ago, I made a variation of this using pork cheeks and jowl in place of the lamb. I omitted the wine, used less tomato paste, … Continue reading Rigatoni with Lamb Shoulder Ragu & Whipped Ricotta
It was my birthday this past Sunday, so instead of posting a recipe I’m going to tell you all about my epic birthday adventures.
